From the Department of the Lame: Ford has extended its free cop-car gas-tank fixit to owners of Town Car limos. However, if you own a regular Town Car, Crown Vic, Maurauder or Grand Marquis, you can buy the kit for a little over a hunski. One might posit that limos and police cars spend a lot of time parked near traffic, making them more susceptible to rear-end collisions that can start fatal fires. But general-issue TCs, CVs and GMs tend to be driven by people who drive very, very slowly, which also puts them at risk for rear-end collisions. The AARP should get all up in Ford's bidness about this.
